Pie, Pi and more Pi at your local library
PH'.’ Hid someone
say pie? Well there
is a Pie Easting
< oinest this Saturday at
the Ziegler House at the
Hdenton State Historic
Site. l'\e always wanted
to do an eating contest
because one of the most
famous graduates of
San Jose State Univer
sity (where I earned my
library degree) is Joey
Chestnut who holds the
world record for hot dog
eating. But the Shepard
Pruden Memorial Library
is doing more with pie
than eating it.
In the next few months
you may see some new
ish looking computer
workstations being scat
tered through the library.
The Pettigrew Regional
Library has negotiated
a contract to allow for
web-based printing. This
frees up the Shepard

from having to have old

computers for basic tasks
such as downloading doc
uments to print. With this
in mind. Josh and I have
been experimenting with
very small and very inex

Raspberry Pi. They cost

hope is that Josh and 1

started the computers in
libraries programs that
we all know. Unfortu
nately federal, state and
local funding no longer
includes monies set aside
for the everyday comput
ers that so many of our
patrons depend on. We’ve
been fortunate over the
past few years to be able
to replace aging technol
ogy through the Shepard
Pruden Memorial Library7
Board of Trustees, the
Harry Rosenblatt Me
morial Speakers Series,
the Chowan Commu
nity Foundation and the
Edenton Woman's Club.
My goal is to make the
Shepard-Pruden Memo
rial Library the best small
library in America and to
be able to share the posi
tive accomplishments of
our library with the rest
of the world. To be frank,
funding will never meet
the pace of the changes in
technology - so let’s find
a way to work around the
.realities we face. In the
)ech world they call this
disruption. 1 see is this as
an opportunity to engage
in “future thinking.” I'd
like to give a big thanks to
the Chowan Community
Foundation for the fund
ing to try this project. So
come join me in the Rasp
berry Pi project or at the
Pie Eating Contest!
We also have non-Pi
related events coming up
including Yoga for Kids
on Saturday the 21st and
a Brunch with an Author
on December 5th. Other
library news of note: we
will be closed for Thanks
giving on November 26th,
27th, and 28th. And if you
are not already volunteer
ing for something dur
ing the Candlelight Tour
- join the Friends as we
keep the library doors
open to provide warmth
and a respite from all the
excitement (aka a clean
warm bathroom).
